Synopsis

Vampire hunter Anita Blake leaps into uncharted territory in the all-new novella from #1 New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton.

For most people, summer barbecues are nothing to be afraid of. But Anita isn’t exactly plain vanilla—and neither is her love life. So it takes a special kind of courage to attend a barbecue thrown by her friend Sergeant Zerbrowski. Walking into a backyard full of cops and their families with wereleopards Micah and Nathaniel both looking gorgeous on her arm won’t be easy, even with almost-four-year-old Matthew Vespucci to break the ice…

Anita is determined to have a good time with her family, just like everyone else. But it doesn’t take long for tensions to rise among the adults and kids. And Anita will learn that gossip and innuendo can be just as dangerous as anything the undead can throw at her…

Includes a preview of Affliction, the new Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter novel

“Hamilton remains one of the most inventive and exciting writers in the paranormal field.”—Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

Loved Dancing. It shows us what it takes to gracefully get through difficult situations. I love the way Laurell Hamilton. Manages to take a page out of everyone's one book and make it extraordinary.

Dancing- Laurell K. Hamilton

I truly enjoyed reading this short story! It was nice to find out something a little lighter in the series, and gave me a welcome change of pace while reading my Anita Blake series again. I found this little gem while updating my book list. Thank you for the surprise Ms Hamilton!

It's a great look into the non- monster thoughts and lives of these characters I've come to love. I can't wait for the next short.
